There are runors that the Annapolis
Short Line Is seriously considering the
expedieney of extending its road to Drum
Point. thereby placing within easy reach
of this city the the products of the fertile
ridge which extends from Millersville,
In Anue Arundel, u the extreme end of
Calvert. The extension would net be very
costly. All the surveys have been made,
the road bed located. and the right of way
along much of ii secured. The beneficial
effects of the road on Calvert and Anne
Arundel can scarcely be over estimated.
That whole region of country would be
come vast truck garden, and the farmers
instead of going behind year after year
with monotonous regularity, would ind
ia the change from wheat, corn aud to
bacco to fruits and vegetables ample re-
turn for their investments of labor and
capital. Obviously. anything which ben
efits the region tributary to Baltimore
must be of advantage to the city itself;
but Drum Point, with its admirable har-
Dor, perfectly landlocked and possessing
an average depth of sixty feet. suggests
possibilities well worthy of consideration.
There are winters-and they have been
frequent of late-when for weeks the har-
Dor of Baltimore is practically blockaded
by ice. The harbor at Drum Point never
freezes, and it can be made the Bremen
haven of this city, while at all seasons of
the year it would furnish an outlet for
our vast and growing coal trade.

The storm Of last night and to-day has
caused temporary suspension of work on
the State House annex. A number of
brick layers and laborers have been at
work the past few days, and the walls are
going up very perceptibly. 1t is the in
tention of the contractor to increase the
force as soon as the weather will permit,
and push the structure to an early com
pletion. 1t is gratifying to notice that a
majority of the employees are Annapoli-
tan workmen.

Although the air is raw and blustery,
the ground frozen, flakes of snow flying,
and the presence of winter, in general.
Astounding, we hear the notes of the robin

spring isn't great way off. But the mar
tins are not here yet; and it is said when
they come it is an indication that spring
is at hand. Wen await the coming of the

As our query Of couple Of weeks ago,
asking our c0nfreres OF the press a. to
the advisability OF constituting the police
juries throughout the State parish school
boards, seems to have met considerable
approval, we will state few reasons for
the question. and why we think the
arrangement would work more satisfac-
torily than the present system.
!. The regular meetings of the police
jury would also be the regular meetings
of the school board, which, as matter Of
course, would guarantee q quorum for
the transaction of business.
2. The people of the parish would be
advised as to the date of these meetings,
which would enable them to bring such
matters before the board a. they consid-
cred for the best interests of the schools.
3. This arrangement would insure q
representative from each ward In the
councils of that body, and would leave
no room, as at present. for complaint as
to the distribution of the funds allotted
the different wards Lake Charles Echo.
We would be willing to see the
above plan adopted, provided the
police jurors were elected by the
people, instead of being appointed
by the governor, as at present. If
this is not done we should object
to the plan, as we are opposed to
putting any more power in the
hands of the governor. The dis
satisfaction in the State at this
time is owing in a great measure
to the too free use of the zone
man power"

The SenatOrship.


1t is said to be conceded by our
sister parish of Winn that Grant
is entitled to the next senator for
this district. We do not know
how Catahoula looks at it; but,
considering the fact that she has
had the Democratic nomination
given to her twice since the dis
trict has been formed, whereas
Grant has never had it, we do not
think she can consistently lay
claim to the senator this time. In
view of these facts we understand
that number of our hill friends
have already been discussing the
subject, and, in casting around for
an available candidate, they have
conferred upon Col. E. G. Randolph
as man who will give eminent
satisfaction IN our own parish, and
carry weight and influence in Winn
and Catahoula.
We have not consulted the Colonel
about the matter, but on the state
ment of couple of our hill friends
that Nh. Randolph has been thus
favorably mentioned among them,
and that they have good reason to
believe tt at he will receive a hearty
support from the other parishes OF
the district, we make the matter
public, give him our most hearty
endorsement hope that he will
consent to serve us in this capacity,
and trust that he will be cordially
supported by our people.

We are pleased to find upon our
table this week a copy of a school
history of the United States, by
Henry E. Chambers, and published
by F. F. Hansell 4 Bro, 30 Camp
street, New Orleans. The author
being Southern man, does not
hesitate to break conventional
grounds by bestowing the same
attention to Southern valor as to
Northern bravery. Typographi-
cally and artistically the book is q
work of art The illustrations are
many, were designed by Southern
artists, and are among the best
specimens of the engraver's skill
we have ever seen. All are ex-
quisitely done and point significant
ly to the great progress made of
late in Southern art Worthy of
notice also is the beautifully de-
signed cover, which was selected
from over twenty that we're sub
mitted in competition for q prize
offered by the publishers, the sue
cassful comnetitor being a LADY,
